Chapter 422: Root of the Disaster
The Chailros family brought Loren some good news: they had discovered that people's cognition interference was related to the Outer Gods, and they had narrowed down the range.
Casper also had a new lead. He had captured other Outer God cultists, but this time, before he could bring the cultists to Loren, the cultists killed themselves.
Still, Casper did gain something; he learned the approximate area involved.
Finally, Loren's own plan was exposed, but only one of his plans had been uncovered, so Loren was able to lock down another area.
Loren drew three circles; each circle represented one of those ranges, and there was only one family at the intersection of all three circles.
"Finally I caught them..."
The moment he discovered that, Loren sent Gwen to that family—a family that truly had ties to the Outer Gods. The household probably wouldn't actually keep anything explicitly linked to the Outer Gods; that would only bring disaster.
Gwen's method of gathering information was so bizarre that ordinary people had no defense. No matter how deeply they hid things, if they really had connections to the Outer Gods, they could not escape Gwen's investigation.
True Sight Eye made every method of concealment ineffective, the High Tower card let Gwen probe everywhere, the Hermit card kept Gwen from being discovered, and the World Card gave Gwen unmatched mobility.
